Yes. If you only want to escape some characters, you can try the hard way: adding `\` in front of them in the string. If you want to escape anything in a substring, you can end the effect of \Q by \E. `/\Q$literal_characters\E$special_characters/` [download] لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply] [d/l] [select]
